ADubs86:Bad run of form. Losing to Real's B team, then Real's A team, The AC Milan in the space of a week and a ahlaf will cause people to start asking questions about you.

Yes, I'm aware, but faith in Barca seems to be especially weak. I attribute it to skepticism of the Barca style and the relative small size of their players, and maybe their lack of emphasis on defense.

This just in. Reports from the Vatican report white smoke drifting from the conclave chimney. The story coming from an inside source that a Dark Horse by the name of Lionel Messi has been named the next Pope. Explanation as to breaking previous practice of naming an existing cardinal was scoffed away with the claim that this was "clearly God's will".

FireZs:Yes, I'm aware, but faith in Barca seems to be especially weak. I attribute it to skepticism of the Barca style and the relative small size of their players, and maybe their lack of emphasis on defense.

I think it's more hope in their diminishing form than lack of faith. People know Barca on their day are unstoppable, they're just hoping that age of the players, number of games played, something, anything is finally catching up to them so someone else has a chance.

StRalphTheLiar:Killer Cars:Is there any other team in the Premier League that has their top two goalies share the same nationality? I can't even think of a team carrying two Englishmen in goal in the EPL right now.

How to turn Americans into soccer fans is to simply have them watch Messi and Barca operate. I have converted a few people over the CL to watching soccer just on his games alone. That and they always ask me Ronaldo looks like such a d-bag. I simply say...because when you are that talented you can be.

Milan have looked like scoring a grand total of twice this match and have missed both. They can't get a hold of the ball and even when they do, they can't seem to string together any passable attempts at going forward. While they just need one garbage goal to move through. it is highly more likely that Barca get a fourth and put this to bed.
